Anyone used this. Can you please describe s/eefects, duration of use, onset etc. Did you like it?
It has less chance of EPS than Zyprexa even, so it seems safe. I might try it for OCD.
Thanks Kids,
Ace,
Nardil 90mg, Zyprexa, 7.5mg, Xanax 1mg PRN.

Ace, just recalled how Klonopin is used by some (effectively) as an augmenting med for ocd....I recall that Viridis used it successfully for ruminations....ever tried Klonopin bro (I have not myself, though have contemplated it)?

Interesting ... I happen to have a touch of OCD and definitely depression and anxiety, plus I take Seroquel! However, it was prescribed and I use it for SLEEP! And I'm not alone; I know of others who take it for that reason. It makes a lot of people drowsy and the s/e apparently does not wear off (knock on wood it better not!). I've been on it for quite some time.
I wonder if those other conditions you mentioned (OCD, anxiety, depression) would get worse on me if I stopped the Seroquel??! Hmmm ...
Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents since I am taking what you asked about, just not for the conditions you cited.

Just trying to speed up response. For OCD all the literature states it takes 4 - 6 weeks to kick in , even 8 weeks. Must be patient! Will get back down to 5mg, once kicked in.Cheers,
Ace.
